Electron Microscopy Enhancement Project

小行星9452255 正在使用扫描电子显微镜和所附能量色散系统的升级，以提高科学司的电子显微镜能力，包括背散射电子成像和定量能力。 扫描电子显微镜与其他仪器（包括透射电子显微镜和X射线衍射仪）一起被安置在一个新的实验室综合设施中。 大量生物学，地质学和物理学课程的学生正在使用新仪器，通过各种学科的短期项目或更广泛的荣誉研究项目参与研究的学生正在利用新系统的功能。

9452255 Webers A scanning electron microscope and an upgrade of the attached energy dispersive system are being used to enhance the electron microscopy capabilities, including back scattered electron imaging and quantitative capabilities, of the science division. The scanning electron microscope is housed in a new laboratory complex with other instruments including a transmission electron microscope and an X-ray diffractometer. Students in a large number of biology, geology, and physics courses are using the new instrument, and students involved with research through either short term projects or more extensive honors research projects in a variety of disciplines are making use of the capabilities of the new system.
